Use Light Strategically for Mood Without Disrupting Sleep

If feeling low, assess how much light you are getting and when you are getting it, while preserving sleep; use light timing as an adjustable variable for mood, but do not suppress melatonin indiscriminately because sleep is important for restoring mood.

1 / 1

Because sleep is also important for restoring mood. So you need sleep. You can't just crush melatonin across the board and expect to feel good because then you're not going to fall asleep and stay asleep.
